CITY will have no game on the first Saturday of the new year.

Mark Hughes' men were due to travel to Stockport for the first time since 2010.

But the Edgeley Park trip scheduled for January 7 must be rearranged now because the Hatters will instead be in FA Cup third-round action.

They booked a tie at home to Walsall after beating Charlton 3-1 in last night's televised replay. Will Collar scored a hat-trick as the home side came from behind against the managerless League One Addicks.
